place in the sun? Evidently, judging by Stalin's
speech, that is her intention, that already is
being carried out. That being the case the rest
of the nations may well be proud to call such
a nation a friend. The Russians have shown
that they can think and plan and profit by
their thinking and execute their plans. We
westerners are only too apt to think of an an*
niversary as being but another day. That’s a
little habit we have. Meanwhile Russia is see
ing that each anniversary sees her anniversary
days as milestones on the way of upward pro
gress. Unless we pinch ourselves till we are
really wide awake, we may find Russia j)low*
ing and sowing our fields and profiting by our
sleepyheadedness.

The U.S. Election

presidency of the United States, 'those in favor
of winning the war are delighted. Mr. Roose

means of preventing such a catastrophe as the
dropping of bombs in Wall Street, on St. Cath
arine’s Street in Montreal oi- at the corner of
King and Yonge in Toronto? Let it be known
that if we keep at our present snail’s pace on
prosecuting the war that what we have spoken
of may soon become a reality. •
First of all, we must get free of the sleep
of death that is paralizing our present efforts
in getting through the war. Our fighting men
are splendid. Nothing more should be required
of them. But what of our statesmen? For the
great duty and the highest strategy is to de
feat our enemies on their own soil. Every min
ute lost in winning a complete victory of Ger
many means the opportunity of giving added
efficiency to their robot outfit.

Russia’s Birthday
Russia had a birthday not so long ago on
the occasion of which Stalin made a speech.
He spoke of the liberation of his country from
the cruel and corrupt rule of the Czars. He
rejoiced with his people in their new found
liberty. He spoke hopefully of the day when
this present awful war would be over. What
he dwelt upon most was the work of recon
struction now in progress. He referred to
mighty rivers that had been rebridged and of
public buildings and. of cities that had been
rebuilt that had been destroyed by her foul
enemies and. of countrysides where farmers
were again about their work, He indicated^ in
deed, that Russia had aimed to have so much

Some farmers have been telling us that
there is lots of wood to be had in this region.
The difficulty is in the getting of the wood to
those who want it. We have an idea that it
would be good practice for merchants and oth
ers to hie them to the woods and get the wood
out to where it can be reached by trucks. A
little planning plus old fashioned gumption will
meet the situation. The big drawback to this
plan or its adaptation is that it will develop
an enormous appetite in the wood-handlers. In
this fair land we have not known what it is to
be “up against it.” Really thrifty people envy
us our opportunities. Witness the work of the
Czecho Slovak, Avel, near Brantford.' “This is
a wonderful country,” he told a delegation of
farmers who called on him. “Any farmer who
knows his business and will go to work,” he
added, “can make money here.”

most famous fighting forces in the world. The
“English” army at Waterloo was composed, so
historians tell us, of “Englishmen, Hanoverians,
Brunswickers, Nassauers, Germans and Nether-
landers,” nearly 30,000 of its total strength
of 106,000 being Netherlanders, and only about
35,000 “English” (including, no doubt, Scots
and Irish). Yet the great victory of that June
day in 1815 is always credited to the “English”
(or British) army, The British people at home
were doubtless pleased that Wellington was
not so particular as to insist on going into battle
against Napoleon with only his 35,000 English
men ; and we have no notion that the people of

The employers of Canada, including farmers, co-operated very satisfactorily
